  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways.

This misrepresentation could lead readers to believe that Israel was targeting innocent civilians or healthcare workers, which is not true.
    • The CCTV footage shared on social media showed Israeli special forces disguised as nurses, women in hijabs, and others storming a hospital corridor carrying assault weapons. This misrepresentation could lead readers to believe that Israel was targeting innocent civilians or healthcare workers.
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by citing Israeli and Palestinian officials without providing any evidence or context for their claims. Secondly, the author presents a dichotomous depiction of Hamas as both terrorists and innocent victims at the same time. Thirdly, there is inflammatory rhetoric used throughout the article that could be seen as incitement to violence. Lastly, there are several examples of inaccurate information presented without any context or clarification.
    • The author presents a dichotomous depiction of Hamas by stating they were terrorists linked to Hamas and Islamic Jihad but also innocent victims who had been receiving treatment at the hospital. This is an example of inflammatory rhetoric that could be seen as incitement to violence.
    • The article states that two brothers were killed in the raid, however it does not provide any information on how they were involved with terrorism or if there was any evidence linking them to terrorist activities. This is an example of a false claim made without context or clarification.
  • Bias (85%)
    The article reports on an Israeli raid in a West Bank hospital that resulted in the deaths of three Palestinian men. The language used to describe the victims and their affiliations is biased towards Israel's perspective, with no mention of any wrongdoing by Hamas or Islamic Jihad. Additionally, there are examples of religious bias as Hamas refers to its fighters as
      • Hamas said the men were Jenin Brigades fighters
        • The IDF said they were terrorists linked to Hamas and Islamic Jihad
        • Site Conflicts Of Interest (50%)
          There are multiple examples of conflicts of interest in this article. The author is an Israeli journalist who reports on a raid by undercover Israeli troops at an Ibn Sina hospital in Jenin, which resulted in the deaths of three militants. This raises questions about Israel's treatment of Palestinians and its actions during the ongoing conflict with Hamas.
          • The article also reports on Basel Al-Ghazawi from the Jenin Camp, who was killed by special forces during a rocket explosion inside the cemetery of Jenin in October. This raises questions about Israel's actions against Palestinian militants and civilians.
            • The article mentions that Mohammed Jalamneh from the Jenin Camp was involved in numerous attacks against IDF soldiers, which could be seen as a potential bias towards Israeli forces.
              • The author is an Israeli journalist reporting on events that took place in Palestine, which could be seen as a potential conflict of interest.
              • Author Conflicts Of Interest (50%)

                • Mohammed Al-Ghazawi from the Jenin Camp is a terrorist operative of the Jenin Battalions who was involved in numerous attacks including firing at IDF soldiers in the area, and Basel Al-Ghazawi from the Jenin Camp
                  • The Palestinian Ministry of Health condemned the attack on Ibn Sina hospital in Jenin as a violation of international law.
                    • “This crime comes after dozens of crimes committed by the occupation forces against treatment centers and crews. International law provides general and special protection for civilian sites, including hospitals.”

                      The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the title is misleading as it implies that there is a new truce proposal being studied by Hamas leader when in fact no such proposal has been mentioned in the body of the article. Secondly, the author uses sensationalist language to describe Israeli commandos disguised as medical staff and civilians gunning down three men in Jenin's Ibn Sina Hospital. This is a clear example of selective reporting as it only reports details that support their position while ignoring other important information such as the context behind these actions. Lastly, there are no sources disclosed or quoted in the article which raises concerns about bias and lack of credibility.

This is an example of religious bias because it implies that these individuals are terrorists based on their religion. Additionally, there is monetary bias present as the article mentions UNRWA funding cuts which could be seen as a way for Israel to control the resources available in Gaza.

                            The article reports on Israeli forces storming a hospital in the West Bank and killing three Palestinian militants. The author uses language that dehumanizes Palestinians by referring to them as 'militants' rather than people with legitimate grievances against Israel. Additionally, the use of words like 'raid', 'targeted killings', and 'hiding out' all have a negative connotation towards Palestinians. The author also uses language that demonizes Hamas for their actions in Gaza, without providing any context or nuance to the situation.
                            • Hamas claimed three men killed were members of their organization
